Today I went to my first ice hockey match! Actually, it was everyone's first ice hockey match - even the Finns! We went to support Kalpa (the local Kuopion team) play Jokerit (Helsinki's team). And we won! It was pretty exciting, but brutal! A fair few injuries and many fights broke out, funniest was probably when there was one man down and a crowd of opponents beating him with their sticks!

In other news, school is getting even better! We just started classes on the pottery wheel and I'm a lot better than I thought I'd be (I've only tried it once before and it didn't end too well) - along side hand building clay techniques. Our glass classes are also progressing now and I can finally (sort of) make a rose :D
